Roach Girl one

"I was cognizant of the limited life of my lies."

Vivian, nicknamed Country Club Girl by her Beachside Middle School friends, seemed to have it all: a wealthy surgeon father, a beautiful mother, and a mansion in the prestigious gated community of Royal Palm Estates. What her friends did not know was that after a tragic incident, her father was sued and lost his medical license, and the lavish remodel on their mansion came to a screeching halt. Now living for almost three years in a gutted-out shell of a home, Vivian's parents' marriage has unraveled, and the story begins with her mother leaving a note for Vivian that she has left. Later, on that same fateful day, her father-not knowing about her mother's departure-- leaves his own note explaining that he has left. With both parents gone, Vivian must take care of herself. She quickly realizes that the bills have gone unpaid as the water, electricity, and phone are turned off. With just $187.23 in her nightstand drawer, can Vivian survive without anyone knowing her circumstances until a parent returns-if they ever do? She thinks she can until an army of roaches reveal a trail of truth.

This story captures the reader from the first chapter, and sends them on an adventure of discovery of one's ability to survive and overcome adversity.
